“I am honored when asked to assist someone in their journey to find strategies for dealing with a range of life's stressers, heal from trauma or loss, recover from addiction, engage in self examination of unhealthy relationship patterns, or to improve communications/relationships between couples and families. I embrace a client-centered, strength based approach to therapy as I believe that the solutions to life's problems lies within the individual. My goal is to create a safe space where clients can share their story without fear of judgement and feel empowered to make positive change, grow and heal.

“Trusting others can be difficult when you have been betrayed, neglected or abused. If you or your child is struggling with emotions or relationships, please allow me to help. By tailoring my interventions to your specific strengths and needs, we can work together to discover your potential and allow you to gain the peace and confidence that you need. This therapeutic relationship is non-judgmental and supportive of the unique person that you are.

“Many people seek therapy because they want answers to their problems, for example, a diagnosis, a treatment plan, etc. It can be enormously helpful to have an understanding of one's problems and coping patterns. The initial phase of any treatment is to develop a clear understanding of the problem and possible interventions, including behavioral and lifestyle changes, etc.
At the same time, change is rarely the product of finding a specific intervention, but is often the process of finding better questions. People grow and change through relationships; and psychotherapy is a special kind of relationship that facilitates this process.

As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I am trained and experienced in using proven, evidenced-based techniques to help you process and overcome the challenges you are facing.

“Seeking help from others is often a difficult decision, but can also be an important first step in overcoming the many different challenges that life can present. I am a compassionate, experienced professional who understands the stresses and challenges that individuals and families face. I will work with you to help you succeed and grow into the kind of person you want to become. I strongly believe that people already have the internal resources that they need to heal themselves.

“I have been in the field of social work for twenty-two years providing psychotherapy for adolescents, adults, couples, and families. Counseling can be a difficult process in which vulnerabilities and pain are often exposed. I provide a safe, nurturing, non-judgmental environment making the client as comfortable as possible to explore this process and address concerns. My goal is to provide safe and healthy coping mechanisms as well as a clearer understanding of the issues presented.

“As a psychotherapist, I ensure a confidential counseling relationship that is both safe and supportive. I am devoted to helping my clients navigate through the mental and emotional distress that is causing them difficulty. My interactive, flexible, and comprehensive approaches are tailored and mutually designed with my clients. Clients gain insight into themselves, increase their self-understanding, and develop healthy coping strategies that help them release unwanted behavior patterns. Through their therapeutic experiences, clients gain personal power and make lasting satisfying change. My techniques are a blend of traditional and holistic approaches, including EMDR, (eye movement desensitization & reprocessing). SASSI testing for alcohol/substance abuse & addiction.

“I work with people who are ready for life to change. Some people bring diagnoses of ADHD; others with reports of anxiety or depression. I am less oriented toward a diagnosis, and more oriented toward what works for the client.

“I believe that clients have the innate ability to heal through accessing their innermost selves. Each client is traveling their own personal, interpersonal, and spiritual path and I act as a guide to help facilitate and co- create healing and wholeness. Through healing old wounds, past traumas, and solving relationship conflicts, I aspire to help individuals, couples, and families reach their highest potentials to aid in having richer and more fulfilling lives. My approach is Transpersonal, which means that I look beyond the ego into the spiritual to encourage wholeness in each client.

I have done a lot of parenting training, and family therapy. I have experience working with individuals dealing with mood disorders, anxiety disorders, sleep problems and Posttraumatic Stress Disorder. I also do Christian counseling upon request and enjoy doing that.

“Life can oftentimes become overwhelming, with various demands placed upon us from family, work, and society in general. These stresses can affect our lives in many ways, negatively contributing to our physical and emotional health. As individuals, we have the power to make positive changes in ourselves, improving how we cope with and overcome life's challenges. The process of change and emotional growth is one that starts with the initial step of reaching out for help. Therapy can provide a safe, confidential, judgement free environment to explore how to cope with life’s stresses and achieve a more fulfilling and rewarding life.

I also work with family members who have a loved one with an addiction problem, as it can be so difficult when your loved one does not seem ready to change.

“I work from the belief that people hold within themselves the ability to change. Often our greatest change comes at times of transition. Transitions-such as change of age status (becoming old, becoming a teenager), gender identity, relationship (marriage or divorce or death)-present a need for careful decision making and support. When confronted with hard challenges, many of us need someone simply to assist us in looking at our lives and developing strategies for bringing about the change we desire. My work is to listen deeply and assist people in identifying their own sources of power and ability.

“I enjoy working with a variety of clients, including children, adolescents, adults and couples. Approximately 20% of my practice is children and adolescents, about 50% adults, and about 30% couples. I work with the family when I am working with children and adolescents. I work closely with several psychiatrists in the practice here but I believe in using as little medication as possible.
